The funeral party of mourners for Emma walked slowly down the hill. They were dressed in black and were silent. Phoenix had a bouquet of white flowers in her hands. The only colour in the darkness. The coffin came behind, and as they lowered it gently into the grave, she started to sob quietly. She clutched her flowers tightly and laid them onto of the coffin. Then she walked back to her place amidst the mourners and covered her face in her hands,thinking: this is all my fault, I should have been there.
Amelia walked silently beside her brothers and sisters (you guys at the institute). Her little plain black dress reached her knees and her light brown hair was pulled into a tight bun. She scuffed her black ballet flats against the ground as they walked, trying to stay strong. Then the time had come for Amelia to place her single white rose on Emmas coffin. She whispered 'I love you my big sister' as she placed her rose and went to stand beside Phoenix who was crying silently into her hands. Amelia reached her little hand up and took one of Phoenixs away from her face. She just kept ahold of it, occasionally giving it a little squeeze, giving Phoenix an anchor to stay strong.
Phoenix felt Amelia's little hand reach up and take her own and she looked down and squeezed her hand. Amelia was so brave, someone so young shouldn't have to experience such sadness. Phoenix clutched amelia to her side and leant her chin on Amelia's head.
As Phoenix clutched Amelia, Amelia let one single tear trace down her cheek. Everyone thought she was so brave, but she had seen death before, it wasn't something new, but still everytime it feels just as bad, if not worse than the time before. Suddenly, a tinkling voice spoke the first words that had been said in a hour. The voice was unlike any she had heard before so she turned to look to see who the stranger was. She saw a girl standing there. But something was different about this girl. Something odd and she coudnt put her finger on it. In any case, the stranger scared her so Amelia hid behind Phoenix and unnoticed by anyone, pulled out her dagger and held it close to her like she had been taught.
"It such a shame to see a shadow hunter die so young" commented Celicy hearing every one to look at her wondering who she was.
'W-who you?' Amelia asked bravely even though she was terrified. She want sure if the girl would hear her hiding behind Phoenix but she was too scared to step out on her own. Damien said the same thing at the same time and she stole a quick glance at Damien and gave him an appreciative smile.
"I am Celicy Carstairs, if you dont want to be hit dont jump at me from nowhere." Celicy said in a calm voice looking at where the little voice came from.
Phoenix turned sharply towards the intruder. This was a funeral for family. She was not family, "What is it?" Damien's grip on her arm tightened a bit, reassuring her that everything was ok and that she needed to calm down. She took a deep breath, "why are you here?"
"It is rude to call a vampire a warlock you know and i knew Emmas family well." expecting to be called a warlock because of her eyes she moved towards the coffin to pay her repects.
Damien nodded at Amelia and turned his attention to the strange girl. "Please we are grieving, is there something you want from us?"
"I mearly came to pay my resects to Emma and please do not attack me i have done no wrong" as Celicy placed her hand on the coffin she whispered so quietly no one could hear her.
Phoenix glared at her, not daring to get to close. Doesn't she know that I could take her head off in one clean swipe? Thought Phoenix angrily, but she didn't want to mar Emma's day with violence
After whispering goodbye and farwell to Emma, Celicy turned to the mourning party. "I also came to inform the shadow hunters of this institute that demons are attacking mundanes at the river which caused Emmas death." Celicy said in a monotoned voice
"I was just there. I faught some of the demons and was wounded and lost my weapon. I saved as many of the mundanes as possible." Celicy said pulling a the fabric on her arm to show her wound that was almost healed.
"Emma was murdered! And it was because she was attacked by a vampire! One of YOUR kind," she retorted angrily, she started towards cecily. I've always hated vamps, she thought.
Celicy hearing phoenix run up behind her moved to the side and grab her wrists "listen you can try to kill me later but right now lets save the mundanes and just because i am a vampire does not mean that i am evil!" Celicy exclamed
Amelia was so confused. She had no idea what had went down all she knew was that someone was in trouble and everyone had run off and left her here without even saying goodbye. Amelia wanted to go help but she knew they would just turn her away because she was too young and coudnt fight well enough. So she sat down under a tree and waited and hoped her brothers and sisters would come back alive.
((What's happened is that they were having a funeral for Emma, crying and what not, Celicy (Amanda's vamp) came in and everyone was angry. She said she knew Emmas family and had come to pay respects and that there were also millions of demons down by the river attacking mundanes (proberly let lose by some vamps to revenge Wesial. Everyone hearing this ran off to help and Amelia was left behind so she sat and waited (she's 8). Oh, and Phoenix is angry at Celicy because a vamp killed Emma. Does that help?))
"Amelia?" Phoenix called tiredly, seeing her sitting under a tree. "I'm sorry we had to go with no explanation," Phoenix limped over to the tree and slid down next to her. "This has been a crap day. You mind fixing me up?" Phoenix pulled out her stele and handed it to Amelia so she could draw healing iratzes
'Phoenix!! Where did everyone go? Where is everyone? Is anyone hurt?' Amelia said as she hugged Phoenix in delight. She and been so worried. 'yes I'll heal you, hang on.' She said as she took Phoenixs stele and began it draw a iratze.
Phoenix hugged Amelia back and then lifted if her shirt to show a huge gash on the side of her stomach. Wow, guess that demon did more harm than I thought, Phoenix thought glumly."It's all good, everyone's ok, just lots of demons killing everyone, same old same old," she said, wincing a bit.
Amelia gasped as Phoenix lifted her shirt. She went about immediately drawing the irzate trying to make it as powerful as she could. 'Im glad everyone's ok.' she said secretly breathing a huge sigh of relief at the news. 'Im sorry!' Amelia said when Phoenix winced, 'Also, when are they coming back?'
"they'll be here soon," Phoenix replied, wincing again, "they just have to deal with some uh newcomers,"
'Oh!' Amelia squealed excited, 'Newcomers! I love new comers! More brothers and sisters!! Are any of them my age?' she asked curiously. 'Im sorry!!' she said in distress as Phoenix winced.
Phoenix laughed at Amelia's reaction, she'd only ever been around people older than her, she'd never had kids her own age to play with, "sorry Amelia, no," when Phoenix saw Amelia's face turn down, she felt so sorry for her, "Don't worry though, I'm sure they're really nice," Phoenix reassured her
((Alot, we got a new RP'er whos grammar levels are... insane...))
"Thanks honey," Phoenix said, cringing as she got to her feet. "I think I'm going to go lie down. Will you come get me when they come back?"
When Amelia heard this her face fell. But when Phienix reassured her she felt a bit better. All the older people she knows are nice so it dosnt matter she's never met anyone her own age. 'Ok!" she said as Phoenix left. 'Ill call you when they get back. I'll wait here!' she said brightly plopping herself down and fixing her eyes on the road. 'I love you Phoenix!' she called over her shoulder absently at Phoenix, turning back to the road and humming a song as she watched.
Phoenix came back out of the institute a couple of hours later and was surprised to see Amelia still sitting out there against a tree. "Hey Amelia, I'm going to the river, you want to come?" Phoenix said
'Yes please!!' Amelia said excitedly jumping up and hiting her head on a tree branch. She laughed and said 'Silly tree! Anyway, I've been waiting like you asked Phoenix but they havn't come. Let's go!' she said and with that she grabbed Phoenix's hand and swung it as she hummed as they walked out the graveyard heading towards the river.
((meet you there!!))

This is the graveyard, standing before you are generations after generations of hero's, villains and those killed in the crossfire.
